Calm a Crying Baby
Expert Q&A
Question:
Can rolling a ball with my child help her development?
Answer:

Even the youngest child can roll and receive a large ball, which means performing this skill offers plenty of opportunity for success. Start by asking your child to roll balls of various sizes at an outside wall. Once he's comfortable with this, try "bowling" with a large ball and empty soda bottles!

Bowling for Boxes
Boxes and balls are childhood favorites, but combined into a fun game, they are irresistible!

You'll need:
Empty boxes of all sizes (not too big!)
Ball

Set the boxes up in a safe place outdoors. Show your child how to throw or roll the ball to knock down the boxes. She will have a ball watching them tumble to the ground and even more fun helping you set them back up again. For a change, use empty, plastic soda bottles!
